    What pad for WG FG 3.0 or Nano

    So i see alot of people like to use a gray CCS pad with finishing polishes.My question is will you get any correction out of a gray pad??Cause im thinking i may just use a gray pad with FG3.0 on my customer cars if its going to shine up really nice and have some correction or would a green pad be a better selection??What i want is some correction but still finish up nicely.

    If some correction is needed, I would go with the "autogeek" LC green pad. Both the FG and the 106FA are basically the same. If a little more cut is needed try the power finish 203. Finishes up like the nano, but with a little more bite.

    Go with the "autogeek" green LC. The gray would work with ultra fine swirls, but green would do a better job with anything more.

    Test the gray pad out. See how it does. The white would work fine with the FG or nano by itself. If it's a black car you could always follow the white with the gray.

    I got very little correction with WG FG and a gray pad. It will clean up marring and very light stuff, etc. but not really reduce a lot of swirls.

    Re: What pad for WG FG 3.0 or Nano

    I just finished playing with my new Flex today and used nano and a white flat pad to remove pretty light swirls around the door handles of the Fuzion. Did a pretty good job, all though it didn't remove all the water etching around the rear bumper. Made them light but couldn't remove them with one pass. I don't think a black/grey pad will be able to give nano or WG the cut it needs to remove moderate swirls via PC.

    The main thing is i want it to finish up nicely but a little correction could be a bonus.

    You are going to have to do a two step process. Use a white pad then finish with a blue pad.
